   Well at some point the heat has to make it's way to the outside   
   world.  My first instrument at my CPoE has a bunch of floating   
   heat sinks.  I had to add a fan.  As bad as sil pad is, it's better   
   than air.  (I've got dreams of redesigning my first instrument...   
   well and all the others too.  :^)
